New York was In the throes OF hard times.
Working people were In distress, and rich
people complained that stocks were worth
nothing, and there was no investment for
their money. To be sure, there was always
the chance that presents itself OF laying ul
their treasures In heaven, but somehow rich
people have never regarded that prospect OF
getting their money back as good one,
and they have never caught on to that
movement to any extent
But now times are good again, Judging by
the way the wealthy hereabouts are parting

seem like the yeriest trash
